The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 538 The Ultimate Battle (4.2k Chapter)

"Hello everyone, I'm Shentong. Tomorrow is the final final battle between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs. Here, I want to say to all those who don’t like us: I’m sorry. I’m sorry, we will not give up, Cavaliers. Players will not give up. It is easy to say to give up, because once you give up, there are no worries. But when you really give up, you will find that you have lost courage, lost faith, lost other people’s recognition, and lost More and more. So, even if I suffer, I will never choose to give up. The Cavaliers players will always fight for honor! Tomorrow, I hope my fans can cheer for us, cheer for the Cavaliers, let We wait for the last moment and see who will be the final winner!"

  Shentong’s video undoubtedly pushed the heat of the final championship tie-break to the climax!

  Shentong’s attitude clearly stated to the outside world the position of himself and the Cavaliers: we will never give up, we will never give up!

   June 24, 2005.

  Clear sky.

  In the dressing room, Shentong stood among the crowd.

"Today is our last battle. I hope everyone can gather their energy and go all out to give victory to Big Z and LeBron, who are truce due to injury. Let us hold the trophy and stand to the pinnacle of the league! "

   "Come on!"

"come on, come on, come on!!!"

  In this game, because Big Z and James were unable to play due to injury, Paul Silas made adjustments to the starting lineup.

   Anderson Varejao will start, he will be the starting center.

  Reggie Miller continued to start the second game. After starting the last game, Miller's performance was not good, but Silas still trusted him very much.

  Before entering the field, Miller stopped Shentong.

   "You know this game is very difficult, right?"

  Shen Tong nodded, wondering what Miller said this time.

Miller said: "I am willing to put down my body and come here in order to pursue a championship. This game may be my last battle here or in my career, so I will definitely give my best, and I have to follow I play at my rhythm and play a game of my own!"

  Shentong immediately understood the meaning of Miller’s words.

  In previous games, Miller’s style of play has always been to cooperate with himself and James. It can be said that he sacrificed himself and made the team complete.

   But today, Miller wants to fight for himself!

  After all, what a hard-won opportunity.

   "Hey, Reggie, this is the you I know. I need the Reggie Miller who pushed Michael away and hit the three-pointer."

  Miller smiled after hearing what Shentong said.

   "Boy, don't hold me back on the court."

   "This is exactly what I want to say!"

  The two fisted, each other's eyes were filled with determination.

  When the Cavaliers players came out of the player channel, the audience cheered.

   "Knight! Knight!"

  The game has not yet started, and the atmosphere has reached unprecedented heights with the players playing alone.

  Countless posters appeared in front of the players, and a huge Cavaliers team's flag kept swaying in the stadium.

   "I'm smashed!!"

  A familiar voice came.

  Shen Tong moved his ears and looked towards the stand.

  Sure enough!

It's them!

  Lao Shen, Sister Hua, Shen Qing, Li Sixuan, Du Bofu

  Dobrev put his hands together, disregarding the image of a lady, cheering for his fiancé with his throat.

  On the sidelines, Shentong saw Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony and others.

   "Although LeBron can't play, we will still cheer for you and kill them!" Anthony said while shaking hands with Shentong.

  On the other side, Kobe and McGrady are sitting side by side.

  The sharp-eyed media at the scene immediately came to the two to conduct an interview.

  Reporter: "Which team did you two come to support?"

  Kobe: "I'm just watching the football, and I don't support which side."

   McGrady smiled and said: "Come on, Kobe, of course we support the Cleveland Cavaliers."

  Reporter: "Why did you choose to support the Cavaliers?"

   Kobe grabbed the microphone and said: "We just hate the Spurs too much."

   McGrady laughed and said: "He actually hates Bruce Bowen."

  In the locker room of the visiting team, Popovich is also doing pre-match mobilization.

"Our opponents are not idlers. Basketball is round. Everything is possible. There is absolutely no relaxation because they have staff attrition. This is the last game to compete for the championship. You can't have the slightest mercy on the enemy. , To seize their weaknesses and rub them on the ground fiercely, even if they are knocked down to the ground, they have to make up their feet. The Blues defense did a good job in the last game, and this one must be maintained."

   Bowen nodded.

   "Well, everyone, win this game and bring the championship trophy back to San Antonio!"

"great, good luck!!!"

  Under the shining spotlight, the starting players of both sides are on the stage!

  The starting lineups of both sides in this game are as follows:

   Cavaliers:

   Center: Varejao, power forward: Gooden, small forward: Miller, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner.

The spurs:

   Center: Nestorovic, power forward: Duncan, small forward: Rose, shooting guard: Bowen, point guard: Parker.

  Naturally, in the commentary room are TNT's two golden partners, Barkley and Smith.

Barkley said: "At this point in the game, both sides have no secrets at all. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the Cavaliers lacking Big Z and LeBron. Even if it is bayonet, the Spurs can easily win. Their starting lineup and bench lineup completely crushed the Cavaliers."

  Smith said: "I have the same opinion as you, but this is Gund Arena, the home of the Cavaliers. If they can drag the suspense of the game into the fourth quarter, then they still have a glimmer of opportunity and hope."

  At this moment, the live camera was aimed at Nina Dobrev, who was sitting in the audience on the sidelines.

  Dubrov is pulling his throat and making various loving movements to cheer for his fiancé.

  Barkley said sourly: "Why are each of Shentong's girlfriends so beautiful? Why am I so handsome, but I don't have any beauty?"

  Smith squinted Barkley, squinting his eyes, and replied: "You are sick, you have to be cured."

   "What do you mean?"

   "Have you read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

  Barkley shook his head blankly, and replied: "I have heard of it."

   "Cao thief. Take his life!"

  On the field, Varejao and Nestorovic jumped the ball.

  The Brazilian actor slightly beats a middle finger.

  The Cavaliers grab the ball.

   "Offensive!"

   "Offensive!"

   Deafening, the sound of cheering from the mountains and the tsunami resounded throughout the arena.

  Shen Tong encountered a double-team on the first catch.

  Without James, Malik Rose can put more defensive focus on Shentong.

  A Bowen is already a headache, and with Rose, it is equivalent to transforming the original Spurs' defensive strength against Shentong and James to Shentong alone.

   drove the ball down, turned around, and took Rose away from the original defensive position. Shen Tong jumped to pass the ball.

  Miller catches the ball from outside and shoots a three-pointer.

  Hollow hit!

  3-0

Barkley said: "Reggie played very badly in the last game and failed to help Shentong share any defensive pressure, but it seems that he has made adjustments in this game. He is the kind of teammates who love and opponents The type of player that we all hate, you can’t give him any free space, otherwise he will use a precise shot to make you pay for the defensive mistakes. He is such a guy, even if the hand feels bad, you don’t Know when he will explode."

  The Cavaliers’ first offense was completed by Miller, not the usual Shentong.

  But the Spurs’ first offense was still handed over to Duncan.

   Duncan played with the ball back and found that the feeling behind him was different from usual.

  There is still a sensation of itching on the back of the neck.

  Looking back, it turned out that Varejao was defending himself!

   Before he had time to make a shot, Duncan only felt his hands were empty!

  Wagner did not know when to appear beside him, and took away the ball in Duncan's hand.

  Duncan was a little upset. If it weren't for being attracted by Varejao, he wouldn't have been unaware that someone came to steal.

  Wagner pushed forward quickly, and Shentong followed closely.

   Facing Bowen and Parker’s defense, Wagner boldly made a pass through the crotch.

  The ball passed Bowen’s cross and hit the ground, and Shentong happened to appear at the same time as it rebounded.

  The so-called people move with the ball, and the ball leads the other, it is the highest state of passing!

  Shen Tong got the ball and immediately violent, ignoring Parker next to him, holding the ball in both hands to make a basket back buckle!

  5-0

   "Good pass!"

   "Hey, I watched a lot of ‘Magic’ Johnson’s passing highlights yesterday. The ones that are now selling are not bad, right."

   "Keep it up."

  Shen Tong and Wagner high-five to celebrate.

  The Spurs are not in a hurry.

  Duncan mentioned that Parker was on the line as a pick-and-roll, and the latter got a shot after shaking and made a steady hit.

  5-2

Barkley said: "The Spurs system is more mature than the Cavaliers. Last year they have been running together for a year, and the tacit understanding between the GDP combination has been cultivated. On the other hand, the Cavaliers, the'gentleman' combination is absent, Da Juan still lack Heat up."

  The voice was not over, Wagner forced Parker to make a layup.

  Duncan came to make up the defense, Wagner looked out, his hands loosened.

  No-Look-Pass!

  Varejao jumped up and put the basket directly after receiving the ball.

  Rao reacted as quickly as Duncan, but he failed to score Varejao's goal and caught a foul.

  Varejao was excited facing Duncan who scored 2+1, clenched his fists with both hands and roared loudly, and the chicken coop hair on his head was about to stand up with excitement.

  At this moment, Varejao Fang showed masculinity.

   also hit the penalty, Varejao opened his hand excitedly and ran back.

  8-2

   Looking back, Duncan mentioned the on-line screen again.

  But this time, he did not return the pass after receiving Parker's pass. When Parker took Wagner away, Duncan suddenly turned around and wiped it to the basket.

  Varejao and Gooden came from both sides of Duncan at the same time.

  But Duncan was unmoved, only the basket was in his eyes at the moment!

  One move is awesome!

   Facing the interception with both hands, Duncan held the ball high with one hand and smashed the ball into the basket!

  Varejao was knocked out of the bottom line.

  8-4

  Ashamed as Duncan, after scoring a goal, he also glared at Varejao who was sitting on the ground.

  Parker just wanted to come forward and give Duncan a high-five. Varejao, who was sitting on the ground, got up quickly, picked up the ball on the floor and passed it forward.

  While the Spurs players are still reminiscing about Duncan's wonderful goal, the Cavaliers have already fought back quickly.

  Shen Tong dribbled the ball past two people, leaped high against Bowen’s standing defense, like a sprint gliding, raised his hands, grabbed the ball and dunked it into the basket!

  10-4

  At the same time as scoring a goal, Bowen was instantly knocked into flight.

  Barkley said: "What happened just now? Who of that Spurs flew out all at once."

  Smith said: "I didn't see it clearly. It seems to be Bruce Bowen. Forget it, it's not important. Shentong's dunk just now is too strong! Today this kid is full of energy!"

  Parker, who rushed back, pulled Bowen from the floor.

   "How is it? Are you okay?"

   "It's okay. But Shentong seems to be a little different today."

   "Just leave it, hit our own, I believe you can guard him."

  In the sound of "defense" in the sky, Malik Rose missed the shot and Duncan was the first to get stuck in a good position.

  In the process of the ball falling, Varejao suddenly flashed from behind Duncan to the front, and then almost simultaneously touched the ball with Duncan.

  The ball was reset.

   Without waiting for the ball to fall, Varejao immediately ran towards the second landing point.

  Ross and Varejao competed for the second spot at the same time, and they were evenly matched.

  The ball flew out of bounds.

  At this time, only Varejao roared and flew away. Just before the ball hits the ground, he held the ball with his hand and moved back.

  The ball passed to Shen Tong's hands.

  Varejao fell heavily off the court.

   "Anderson, you will not sacrifice for nothing!"

   Turning grief into strength, Shen Tong rushed to the Spurs penalty area with the ball.

  While changing direction without stopping, Bowen's ankle was almost twisted.

  Faced with Rose’s defense, Sam Gold was used, and one more person.

  Facing Nesterovich, Shentong used a lever in the air, put the ball under Nesterovich’s arm with his right hand, and then shook his wrist.

  The strong waist and abdomen strength makes the picking action after Shentong pull rod without any deformation.

  Bounce into the basket after playing the board easily.

  12-4!

   Popovich jumped from the bench and immediately called for a timeout.

  In the live broadcast room, Barkley’s big mouth was talking eloquently.

"The spirit of the Cavaliers from the opening game is completely different from the last game. They seem to have got rid of the psychological barrier of LeBron and Big Z's absence, and turned pressure into motivation. They played very proactively. Look just now. Anderson’s save~www.ltnovel.com~ To be honest, if it weren’t for the ball just now, I would have thought that the Brazilian’s best technique was diving. Impression, that ball even reminded me of Dennis Rodman."

"The tactics shown by the Cavaliers in the first few minutes have refreshed me. In past games, we can see very strong tactics around Shentong and LeBron. In the previous game, the whole team was surrounded. Shentong is playing, but in this game, the Cavaliers’ starting five are fully blooming. This change makes the Spurs a little uncomfortable, and they can’t defensively invest troops to double-team Shentong."

"Yes, in previous games, the Spurs focused on guarding Shentong and LeBron. The last game was around Shentong, but in this game, at least in the opening few minutes, the Spurs' defense was a bit like a headless fly. , Because everyone on the Cavaliers can score!"

   During the timeout, the Spurs players almost spent time with Popovich’s roar.

   "Okay, I don't want to repeat it any more, Bruce, you just have to be optimistic about Shentong, and everyone else should follow the previous defense and pay attention to fills!"

  After the timeout, Manu Ginobili came on the stage and replaced Marrick Rose.

  The Cavaliers replaced Wagner with Eric Snow.
